I love learning about other cultures, traditions, language etc. I'm an illustrator (www.caitlinyarsky.com), musician, and a big sci-fi/fantasy nerd.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling and seeing the world and meeting new people is really inspiring, art and music-wise (and generally good for the soul I think) :)
